22.3 Position reference input signal (P_INPUT+)
Functionality of P_INPUT+ signal (pin 10), depends on axis card reference mode, see section :
external analog reference
(see 2.1): input is used as reference for control in closed loop the actuator position.
Reference input signal is factory preset according to selected valve code, defaults are ±10 VDC for standard and 4 ÷ 20 mA for /I option.
Input signal can be reconfigured via software selecting between voltage and current, within a maximum range of ±10 VDC or ± 20 mA.
external fieldbus reference
(see 2.1)
or automatic cycle
(see 2.2)
:
analog reference input signal can be used as on-off commands with input
range 0 ÷ 24VDC.
22.4 Force reference input signal (F_INPUT+) - only for SF, SL
Functionality of F_INPUT+ signal (pin 12), depends on selected axis card reference mode and alternated control options, see section :
SF, SL controls and external analog reference selected
: input is used as reference for the axis card force closed loop.
Reference input signal is factory preset according to selected valve code, defaults are ±10 VDC for standard and 4 ÷ 20 mA for /I option.
Input signal can be reconfigured via software selecting between voltage and current, within a maximum range of ±10 VDC or ± 20 mA.
SN control or fieldbus/internal reference selected:
analog reference input signal can be used as on-off commands with input range 0 ÷ 24VDC.
22.5 Position monitor output signal (P_MONITOR)
The axis card generates an analog output signal (pin 9) proportional to the actual axis position; the monitor output signal can be software set to
show other signals available in the axis card (e.g. analog reference, fieldbus reference, position error, valve spool position).
Monitor output signal is factory preset according to selected valve code, defaults are ±10 VDC for standard and 4 ÷ 20 mA for /I option.
Output signal can be reconfigured via software selecting between voltage and current, within a maximum range of ±10 VDC or ± 20 mA.
22.6 Force monitor output signal (F_MONITOR) - only for SF, SL
The axis card generates an analog output signal (pin 11) according to alternated force control option:
SN control
: output signal is proportional to the actual valve spool position
SF, SL controls
: output signal is proportional to the actual force applied to the cylinder’s rod end
Monitor output signals can be software set to show other signals available in the axis card (e.g. analog reference, force reference).
The output range and polarity are software selectable within the maximum range ±10 VDC or ±20 mA.
Monitor output signal is factory preset according to selected valve code, defaults are ±10 VDC for standard and 4 ÷ 20 mA for /I option.
Output signal can be reconfigured via software selecting between voltage and current, within a maximum range of ±10 VDC or ± 20 mA.
22.7 Enable input signal (ENABLE)
To enable the axis card, a 24VDC voltage has to be applied on pin 6.
When the Enable signal is set to zero the axis card can be software set to perform one of the following actions:
- maintain the actuator actual position in close loop control
- move towards a predefined position in closed loop control and maintains the reached position (hold position)
- move forward or backward in open loop (only the valve’s closed loop remain active)
22.8 Fault output signal (FAULT)
Fault output signal indicates fault conditions of the axis card (solenoid short circuits/not connected, reference or transducer signal cable
broken, maximum error exceeded, etc.). Fault presence corresponds to 0 VDC, normal working corresponds to 24 VDC.
Fault status is not affected by the Enable input signal.
Fault output signal can be used as digital output by software selection.
22.9 Position transducer input signal
A position transducer must be always directly connected to the axis card. Select the correct axis card execution depending on the desired
transducer interface: digital SSI or Encoder (D execution), potentiometer or a generic transducer with analog interface (A execution).
Position digital input signal is factory preset to binary SSI, it can be reconfigured via software selecting between binary/gray SSI and Encoder.
Position analog input signal is factory preset according to selected valve code, defaults are ±10 VDC for standard and 4 ÷ 20 mA for /C option.
Input signal can be reconfigured via software selecting between voltage and current, within a maximum range of ±10 VDC or ± 20 mA.
Refer to position transducer characteristics to select the transducer type according to specific application requirements (see 23.1).
22.10 Remote pressure/force transducer input signals - only for SF, SL
Analog remote pressure transducers or load cell can be directly connected to the axis card.
Analog input signal is factory preset according to selected valve code, defaults are ±10 VDC for standard and 4 ÷ 20 mA for /C option.
Input signal can be reconfigured via software selecting between voltage and current, within a maximum range of ±10 VDC or ± 20 mA.
Refer to pressure/force transducer characteristics to select the transducer type according to specific application requirements (see 23.2).

22 POWER SUPPLY AND SIGNALS SPECIFICATIONS
Generic electrical output signals of the valve (e.g. fault or monitor signals) must not be directly used to activate safety functions, like to switch-ON/OFF
the machine’s safety components, as prescribed by the European standards (Safety requirements of fluid technology systems and components-
hydraulics, ISO 4413).
22.1 Power supply (V+ and V0)
The power supply must be appropriately stabilized or rectified and filtered: apply at least a 10000 μF/40 V capacitance to single phase
rectifiers or a 4700 μF/40 V capacitance to three phase rectifiers.
22.2 Power supply for axis card logic and communication (VL+ and VL0)
The power supply for axis card logic and communication must be appropriately stabilized or rectified and filtered: apply at least a 10000 μF/40 V
capacitance to single phase rectifiers or a 4700 μF/40 V capacitance to three phase rectifiers.
The separate power supply for axis card logic on pin 3 and 4, allow to remove solenoid power supply from pin 1 and 2 maintaining active the
diagnostics, USB and fieldbus communications.
A safety fuse is required in series to each power supply: 2,5 A time lag fuse.
A safety fuse is required in series to each axis card logic and communication power supply: 500 mA fast fuse.
